The course is the third course of the Computer Science curriculum. The outline of the course corresponds to the course C2 recommended by the ACM (Association of Computing Machinery). The course introduces and develops methods for designing and implementing abstract data types using the C++ programming language. The main focus is on the object-oriented design and programming in problem solving, and the fundamental concepts, tools and techniques in the design of data structures and associated operations. The course assumes students have a strong background in structured programming and some object-oriented programming experience. The requirements include programming assignments and written exercises, a midterm, and a final exam.
